Read three terrific posts from Jamie Spencer at the Austin Criminal Defense Lawyer describing Travis County's S.H.O.R.T. Court (the local drug court), and busting wide open ill-informed arguments from Crime and Consequences against attorneys advising clients to participate in drug courts. Writes Spencer, "I know this is harsh, but I’ve rarely seen such hogwash from a self proclaimed expert." Then he backs it up. (There's more on the topic from Corrections Sentencing.)
See also Spencer's post on how the Austin Police Department will charge you for a police report but won't really give you one. Good stuff from somebody on the front lines.
